FULL STORY

FromSoftware has announced that it has delayed the Nintendo Switch 2
exclusive Elden Ring Tarnished Edition to 2026.

In a post shared on social media today, the Dark Souls and Bloodborne studio explained that it was delaying the Switch 2 edition to next year because it needs more time "to allow for performance adjustments".

"While development on #ELDENRING Tarnished Edition continues wholeheartedly toward release, we have decided to move the launch to 2026 to allow time for performance adjustments. We apologize to players looking forward to the game and thank you for your patience and support," FromSoftware said.

The Tarnished Edition was announced earlier this year alongside the full Nintendo Switch 2 console reveal and was initially expected to arrive
sometime in 2025.

This Switch 2-exclusive version of the Game of the Year 2022 winner will include the base game, as well as the spectacular Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the game wasn't running too well on Nintendo's new hardware, with many people who got to experience the game hands-on at Gamescom describing significant frame-rate issues (via Nintendo Life ).

Hopefully, the additional time from the game's delay will allow FromSoftware
to improve upon the performance issues.
